If you're hoping to spruce up your home in time for the festive period, Valspar is looking for 150 Mumsnetters to test their 2.5L Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint.

Here's what they say, "Often it's hard to keep your home spick and span with little ones running around, especially when hosting a large family at Christmas time, but the Valspar Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint is set to stand the test of time with its maximum durability credentials. Our easy to clean premium paint includes a super-scrub formula and undergoes vigorous scrub testing to ensure the paint won't fade or chip off when cleaned, making it durable for your family home. This high quality paint allows walls to be wiped down and scrubbed clean once the festivities come to an end, without compromising on colour.

"As well as being available in a variety of finishes, including matt, mid-sheen and gloss, the Valspar unique colour matching technology can replicate any colour the eye can see - that's 2.2 million shades! Choose a colour that's personal to you and your family - be it the shade of a festive Christmas bauble, or a favourite ornament, simply take the item to your local B&Q and its exact colour can be scanned and recreated in paint form."

This product test is open to all UK Mumsnetters who would like to add a splash of colour to their homes. Mumsnetters must be available to trial the product and give their feedback by the end of November.

Selected testers will be sent a voucher for Valspar Premium Walls & Ceilings Paint and a Harris roller and tray set and a Harris brush by 15th November. Testers will be required to use the product to paint a room or a feature wall in their home and provide their feedback on a feedback thread on Mumsnet and complete a short feedback survey. Testers will also be asked to share pictures of their completed room transformations by the end of November.

Everyone who gives feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one winner will receive a £300 Love2Shop voucher.

If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks
MNHQ

When is this being sorted? I'm itching to start decorating and I need to know either way Flowers

HairyLittleCarrot · 12/11/2015 15:43

Can we have an update please MNHQ?
I've delayed my project to wait for a voucher but if it isn't coming then I'll need to just crack on.

AngelieMumsnet · 12/11/2015 15:49

Hi everyone, selected testers will be emailed before the weekend, and we'll post here to confirm when we have sent the emails out :)

We are painting our bedroom at the moment and also have a new nursery to do as well, so this would be excellent :)

florencebabyjo · 12/11/2015 20:55

This has got me thinking about decorating other rooms too and am definitely going to be busy leading up to Christms. I'm really hoping for a voucher to start me off though!

YouAreMyRain · 13/11/2015 20:01

Is it the weekend yet? Grin

PinkSquash · 13/11/2015 20:16

It's after 6, it's the weekend! Wine

Pipbin · 13/11/2015 22:16

Well it's too late of its me because the room has been painted.

piggyliggy2015 · 14/11/2015 08:12

Has anyone heard yet? Not sure whether to delay buying my paint or not..

Pipbin · 14/11/2015 08:42

I couldn't delay as a carpet is going down in there today. If they want the job finishing before the end of November there isn't much time left.

AngelieMumsnet · 14/11/2015 09:17

Sorry for the delay! We've now emailed the selected testers :)

piggyliggy2015 · 14/11/2015 09:25

Yay I got chosen :-) I've already chosen a great colour for our feature wall, so will be great to finish it off

supermariossister · 14/11/2015 09:36

NoisyOyster · 14/11/2015 09:37

Themadcleaner · 14/11/2015 10:07

Same as super, read the email, told DH we are decorating soon and then voucher arrived in post! Thank you very much, off to choose colour later today!

Monica101 · 14/11/2015 10:55

Thanks, vouchers arrived today Smile.

I will go to B & Q to choose a colour tomorrow. I am very much a Dulux aficionado so will have to choose a few testers to get a grip with their neutrals but there is certainly a lot of choice!

Minisoksmakehardwork · 14/11/2015 11:03

Thanks for choosing us. Was just telling dh as the email came through when postie arrived. Vouchers received!

I might actually get dh to start finish laying the beading for the floor which was laid well over a year ago as well!

jessieb887 · 14/11/2015 11:48

I'm in!!!! All I need now is to choose a colour for my feature wall decisions decisions. Hmm

jessieb887 · 14/11/2015 11:49

I'm in the same boat as you, my living room is magnolia has been since we moved in but want some colour now!!

StillRunningWithScissors · 14/11/2015 13:02

Yay, thank you for the chance to test this out. Had great plans to do work outside in the coming weeks, but with this rainy weather, painting is definitely preferable.

I'm in as well. Read email, post arrived 5 minutes later with voucher. Result!

Going to pick the paint on Monday.

lynniep · 14/11/2015 15:09

ooh I got some! Crikey what shall we have?!!

CrystalGlitz · 14/11/2015 16:37

Yippee! Got the voucher today, nipped to B&Q with v excited DD. So much to choose from that we left with tester pots, but just wanted to flag that I think our vouchers are for Premium Walls & Ceilings paint which means we can also select the mid-sheen finish (in between matt and silk). Happy painting!
